nancy of yarmouth - eliza carthy & olivia chaney lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
oh it’s nancy of yarmouth, she’s my joy and delight
it’s all a kind letter, i am going to write
it is to inform you, what we undergo
oh, on the salt sea boys, where the stormy winds blow

[verse 2]
it happened one night, after it grew quite dark
[?] captain, he showed us the mark
the mark that he showed us, it appeared in the sky
how he showed us, how he told us, that the storm was nearby

[verse 3]
it came rattling down like thunder, and it tossed us about
twas many a bold seamen, with hearts bold and stout
to stand shivering and shaking, [?]
one moment on the ocean, and the next in the air

[verse 4]
a ship in distress, is a most dismal sight
like an army of soldiers, a-going to fight
a soldier he can fight, my boys, by the sound of his drum
while the sailor is [?] to a watery doom
what can i do for him? so far from the sh-r-
i will wait for my sailor, what can i do more?
